chirpstack-gateway-mesh: Handle command error: Only Delay timing is supported ( Class-C downlink)

Viewed 3

Hi

May I know if ChirpStack-Mesh supports Class C downlink?

Test Version:

Concentrator Version: 4.7.0  
Gateway Mesh Version: 4.1.3
MQTT Forwarder Version: 4.5.1
chirpstack 4.16.2 

I got these log message when the Class-C message had been queued.

I've found that another person encountered this issue last year.

Gateway Mesh fails to relay downlinks to Class C devices.

Would it be possible to patch this solution into ChirpStack Mesh?

Thanks.
